Ending With A Big Upset announced to the queen’s court as fourth attendant. The third atten- dant was Kim Valentine, escorted by Scott Aylor and sponsored by the Football Team. The announc- er called Noelle Higdon as second attendant escorted by Brian Smith and Sponsored by Calculus Club. The excitement grew as Tonya Burdine was announced as the first attendant. She was es- corted by Jay Fulmer and was sponsored by Student Council. The remaining twenty candidates realized that the next name called would be the Homecoming Queen of 1984. As her name was called, Lydia Reynolds escorted by Scott Parker and sponsored by the Fu- ture Homemakers of America, stepped forward to be crowned Boone County’s 1984 homecoming queen, truly, a queen of queens. Dan Maher began the second half by booting the ball far into the endzone on the opening kick- off. The third quarter ended with the Rebels on top of the Bulldogs 14-7, but 46 seconds into the final quarter, the Bulldogs scored from Boone’s 30 yardline. The game was destined to be a gruelling overtime contest. At the end of regulation time the Bull- dogs had scratched their way back to tie the Rebels at 14. The Rebels received the ball first in the overtime period and relied on a 27 yard field goal by Maher to give the Rebels a three point edge. However, the Bulldogs re- ceived the ball and, after being held three straight downs, the Bulldogs scored and sent the Reb- els to defeat. The night was definitely a night fit for a queen and even though the Rebels lost, they proved to be gallent knights who fought to the bitter end for their Homecoming Queen. 18 Homecoming

Strangers In The Halls The blueprints for a day of fun were translated in the “spirit” of the day by the students who inhabited the halls on October 31. The day be- gan as many students prepared for school. What was so abnormal about that, you ask? It was not the simple act of preparation, but the materials used by the students on Halloween that proved to be un- usual. Instead of blush and co- logne or sweaters and jeans, many of the students used paint and glitter, rags and wigs to assume their new identities for Hallow- een. Many of the clubs dressed in similar costumes such as the toga- wearing Latin Club, the beach bums from the Men Of Boone, the “ladies of the evening” represent- ing the Women of Boone, and the punk rockers of the Student Council. Several of the faculty members added to the “spirit” of the day as they took the opportunity to as- sume other identities. Classes did not know what to expect as bewil- dered students entered Miss Bren- da Veid’s room to be greeted by a horrible vampire, or discovered Miss Teresa Hargis dressed as a husky football player. Mr. Mike Sanders and Mr. Ralph Wallace were comfortable as beach bums, and Mrs. Akers’ room was occu- pied by a strange looking hobo. The day also saw the creation of a new character resembling the “nerd” version of Mr. Terry John- son. There was no question about it as students and teachers alike dressed for the occasion: Boone County was a livelier place on Halloween. That blueprint for fun was drawn with a lot of creativity and “spirit”! 20 Halloween
